Elo TouchSystems, a Tyco Electronics business, is announcing the new Elo Elite Partner Program. We understand how important collaborations are in delivering high quality solutions to the marketplace. In order to further strengthen strategic relationships and collaborations, the Elo Elite Partner Program has been developed. The program has been designed to provide specific business support for Value-Added Resellers (VAR) and Independent Software Vendors (ISV) when facing the challenges of the current economic climate. Our goal is to align our technologies, channel proficiency and support with channel suppliers that can deliver comprehensive solutions.

Elo Elite VAR and ISV partners receive industry-leading support in addition to the program's value-added benefits such as our industry expertise, product innovation, and global reach and capabilities. Plus, a dedicated team of channel professionals provides on-going support. After enrollment, Elo Elite VAR and ISV partners receive full access to the program tools, marketing and sales contacts plus other significant advantages that help their businesses grow.

Collaboration with a Touch Systems Market Leader
Elo Elite partners also leverage the Elo TouchSystems advantage. As an innovative global leader in touch, the complete Elo portfolio of touch technologies, touchmonitors and touchcomputers provides the best choice of options for a customer's requirements. Elo's founders pioneered touch technology over 35 years ago. Today, Elo products remain in the forefront being well-suited for demanding requirements. An Elo Elite partner will be able to deliver innovative, reliable and durable touch systems with leading service, support and warranties, all while leveraging our world-class reputation.

Elo Elite Value-Added Reseller Partners
We know what it takes for VARs to succeed in this marketplace and consistently deliver advantages that foster success in selling value-added solutions. Elo's channel strategy promotes business through the channel – not through direct sales. We realize the importance of supporting our channel suppliers and have a dedicated channel sales team to attend customer meetings and participate in the growth of Elo Elite VAR partners' businesses.

Elo Elite Independent Software Vendor Partners
A professional team is dedicated to build the success of the ISV business and dealer network. By combining premier software solutions with industry-leading Elo technologies, we can provide enhanced comprehensive solutions to our value-added resellers and end-user customers. We will be an extension of the ISV business, complementing the software solutions with dependable and reliable touch technology and products. It takes only a few minutes to apply. Special training or certification minimums, program investment or set minimum product sales levels are not required to maintain partnership status.
